charm city
I’m in the greatest city of america! Or something like that. Meredith and i tromped around Baltimore friday afternoon.

I don’t think those ones are ever going to adopt a simple Indian-style sit . So, this morning I did some of this (randomly generated crossfit workout) … Continue reading »
zoo in my back yard
So, I’ve got a zoo in my back yard. Not really, but it’s pretty nice to live jogging distance within A) the white house and B) a den of cheetahs. Once you get past all the traffic lights, this city’s a good one to run in! Favorite animal. Fastest animal. How fast could a cheetah … Continue reading »
